In short: Super slick orgainsation & definate PB potential for all
In full: This was my first for the Silverstone 10k, and after my Half disappointment there, this one changed all that. The organisation was so slick. from registering on the eve, collecting my number, access to toilets, parking and baggage storage. Silson Runners do themselves proud.
The only odd thing compared to the Addidas Half, was the eery silence around the track, except for the sound of footfall.
Really great turnout too for a mid-week evening race.
Will most certainly be back next year to bag another PB.

In short: Excellent - well worth the mid week trip
In full: First time at this race but definitely recommend to all runners of any ability. Great venue and flat course - though personally not being a F1 fan I can appreciate how fans of this sport get a thrill outta running around the track!
Superbly organised - entries on the night was a doddle, in fact, everything from the parking to the toilet facilities was.
Well done & thanks to the organisers, marshalls and volunteers.
I'll definitely be back next to attempt to beat my time!

In full: The organisation was excellent, from the collection of numbers through to the handing out of water at the end of the race. The opportunity to run on the Silverstone race track was a bonus. Smooth surface and great PB potential. Will be back next year.

In full: where to start. Ran a pb that was 40.19 / 20 but a tale to tell. Organisation excellent and a high turnout helped create a great atmosphere. A chip on the number what could possibly go wrong. Started,got moving then a large person appeared tumbling. He grabbed another runner and pulled him over and grabbed me and ripped my vest and my number clean off.Regained my footing and got a pb. Gutted my chip had gone. Felt really strong last 400 and could have sprinted a few more seconds off. Definately recommend this race.
